‘Looproot’ (2016), Acrylic on Linen, 36″ x 36″ from Ernesto Kunde's acclaimed Mangrove Series 

Renowned South Florida artist Ernesto Kunde is best known for transforming the mangroves, wild birds, and crackled Deco architecture of Miami in his work. He displays a keen eye for interpreting his tropical surroundings, the vital elements of Miami as a natural and urban biosphere are omnipresent in his work – sometimes appearing on linen, or cuts of canvas, found wood, and on corrugated aluminum. Kunde infuses his work with highly saturated, contrasting tones with completely opaque shadow. Color gradients and differentials are just barely visible beneath intense layers of paint. He paints on a diverse range of surfaces, such as found wood, canvas, and steel. Kunde also creates sculptural works and suspended installations.
